An Ex-Army Scout Tells a Newspa-
per Man a Sensational. but
improbable. Yarn.

ST. PAUL, July 21.-Captain Henry W.
Horn, chief of General Clusters scouts du-
ring the memorable campaign against
Sitting Bull, has been interviewed in Bos-
ton rs to what he knows Of the terrible
massacre. He tells a remarkable story
which bears considerably upon the eele-
brated battle. He says he was with Gus
ter three hours before the battle in which
he met his fate. He then intimated that
others beside Indians were cognizant OF
of the affair. At the battle while exam
ming the trail to discover the number Of
Indians in the fight, a network OF wires
was found stretched in the grass and near
to the plateau where the battle occurred.
The purpose of these wires was to throw
the cavalry horses should they attempt to
escape, making it an easy matter for the
Indian to shoot them down. The wires
had been taken from telegraph poles.
Says Captain Horn, "since that fight no
less than twenty five Indians who partici-
pated in the battle have distinctly told me
that the wire was procured and laid down
under the direction of a number of rene
gade white men, who were with the In
dians disguised as warriors About ten
days after the fight, accompanied by GER
tain government officials, said Captain
Horn, / visited the scene of the battle
and found that the wire had been remov-
ed and the field had been fixed.

A Land Of Flowers.

Our Montana soil is the finest in the
land for raising flowers. There is no
place in America that produce finer flow
ers or larger ones than are found in this
country. The hot house flowers of the
east cannot compare with these Of Mon
tana. The Montana Lsus Stock journal
says there are a number of amateur horti-
%culturists in Helena who have made a
specially Of raising pansies. Among
these are DR.. W. r. Billiard of the East
side, ard Charles II. Smell of the West
side who have long been rivals in produc-
ing these beauties of the floral kingdom.
Mr.. Smell has a bed of pansies, which be-
ing covered with straw bloomed under the
To- all winter and opened out early in
the spring with a vast number Of flowers
and have since produced blossoms as
large as a silver dollar: but Mr.. Smell has
met with a rival close at home. The pan
sizes in the iower-beds of Mrs. George
Ringwald, a neighbor of Mr.. Smells, have
carried off the honors, as some Of the
blossoms were 3ls inches in length and 2sg
inches in width. If anybody in America
in a dollhouse or outside of it, can pro-
duce larger or finer flowers than the ones
raised by the above experts we should like
to hear from them. Montana is q great
country for flowers.

Hotel Burned.

BrLL1Nes, July 2~o.-[special to the
Tribunel.-At 2:A5 a. m. yesterday, the
Park hotel was discovered to be in flames
and in fifteen minutes it was reduced to
ashes and smoIdering ruins. The build
ing was a very large two-story wooden
structure lined throughout with sheeting
The fire had made such Roadway when
discovered that the fire department though
promptly upon the scene, was unable to
cope with the flames. This hotel was
built in 1882, and with the Drovers', lately
burned, was a relic of the early history OF
the town. It was the property of G. d.
Forrest, and valued at $500.
The cause Of the fire is believed to have
been the explosion of a lamp as was the
case in the Drovers'. The inmates barely
escaped with their lives, Mrs. Forrest,
wife of the proprietor, and a girl being
being rescued from the windows with
ladders.

NJ. Egan, the general superintendent of
the Manitoba, that on Saturday last, July
10, they laid sever and ene-fifth miles, or,
to be exact, Z miles, 1,040 feet of track.
This exceeds all former records and
makes June 16, 1887, a memorable date in
railway construction, And yet Mr.. Egan
says that he will break this record and lay
ten miles in a day before the ummer is
over.
The scene of the great work was at Milk
river valley. The road enters the Milk
river valley 256 miles west of Minot and
follows the valley to the crossing of the
river about twenty-five miles farther west.
The track-laying force will pass Middle
Point tomorrow and will. cross Milk river
on Saturday, barring all accidents.
The grading force is strung along the
line from Fort Assinaboine nearly to Fort
Benton, and another large force will very
soon he working between Fort Benton
and Great Falls. There is no reasonable
doubt that Manitoba trains will be rolling
into Helena early in November, if not con-
siderably sooner.
Work on the Montana Central between
Butte and Helena is also going forward
with all speed. Fully 1900 men are at
work on this division of the line, of whom
about 400 are strung along between Hell
ena and the farther end of the Wickes
tunnel. Colonel Broadwater calculates
that with the exception of the Wickes
tunnel, the grading on this division will
all be completed by the LIST of November.
Early next year the track will be laid, and
Helena and Butte will be connected by a
short line of railway.

Large Sales of Wool.

BILLINGS, July 20.-[Special to the Tri
bunel.-Despite the inactivity of the east,
ern wool market, there has been an unu,
sually lively season here this far. Although
the prices have not been quite as good as
expected, considerable sales have been
made. Six hundred thousand pounds of
wool have already arrived here and more
is coming. About 100000 pounds will
be forwarded from here. Three hundred
thousand pounds have already been sold
here.
Twerty and one-half per pound seems
to be the highest price thus far paid for
choice lots, and for medium 10 TOGO cents.
